Canadians must be elated to know that cannabis use is allowed. But, Vancouver police officers might be overjoyed that the law in Canada now allows them cannabis use. However, they have to be off duty and not on the job to partake of cannabis. Isn't that a milestone? When will the United States reach that milestone for police officers? It might not be in the making any time soon because of the strict federal laws that govern cannabis in the United States. But, let's just wait and see if they follow suit. You never know. The voters are the ones that can do the talking. ...

The cannabis seed is an amazing thing—so small yet so full of potential. All of the amazing strains we enjoy today, even the clone-only strains, all started as a simple seed. Although clones are becoming increasingly mainstream in the cannabis space, they will never replace seed entirely. Cannabis seeds are absolutely imperative to the creation of new strains and the selection of prime phenotypes for cloning. ...

Cannabis legalization was a big deal in the November 6, 2018 midterm election, but as it appears, the case was similar during the Obama and Trump Presidential elections too.

Many advocates believe that in this new presidential administration and the fact that voters are expressing their approval at the poll the Trump team will want to take credit for full cannabis legalization, if it happens on their watch. But, this has been an ongoing trend for at least the last ten decades. ...

On October 31, 2018, the Supreme Court in Mexico handed down a couple of rulings that deemed the prohibition laws related to recreational cannabis to be against the constitution. It was found by the Supreme Court that anyone who is an adult has the basic right to their personal development. For that reason, these adults should be able to decide their very own recreational moves without having the activities interfered by the state. Now, it has been concluded by the courts since the same rulings took place between 2015 and 2017 that the use of recreational cannabis and medical cannabis should be reconsidered. ...

The midterm elections that took place on November 6, 2018 saw residents from across the nation make their vote for various issues including cannabis access, health care coverage, funding for education and even gun control. The Democrats kept their promise of a "blue wave" and they were able to get back control of the House of Representatives, giving them more bargaining and ruling power as it relates to public policy. The Republicans, on the other hand, did get back control of the Senate and they, too have some power, but this time, the Democrats have more 'say so' than they did in the most recent past. ...

According to a five-year study by the National Sleep Foundation (NSL), nearly 40 million Americans suffer from a wide range of sleep disorders. Most of these problems go undiagnosed, resulting in 40 percent of adults suffering from sleeplessness that interferes with daily activities on a regular basis every month, with 20 percent experiencing problems with sleepiness each week. ...

It seems logical for Massachusetts to the site for a recreational cannabis dispensary. Why? Well, this little city in Massachusetts has an eclectic culture and youthful vibe where the younger generation has a keen interest in recreational cannabis. Before the end of November 2018, a small Massachusetts dispensary is planning to open its door for people 21 years and older to buy recreational cannabis and other cannabis products such as pre-rolled joints, lotions, creams, and edibles and oils. In the city of Leicester, a second dispensary could open during the same period. As it stays right now, there are also dozens of applications for retail cannabis licensing waiting for approval. ...
